Republicans are cancer.
A good time to remind people about the concept of Jury Nullification. Other terms you may hear in place of jury nullification are conscientious acquittal, juror veto, or jury pardon. At its essence, it is acquitting someone of a crime because you believe defining what they did as a crime is immoral. They did it but the law itself is wrong. It is based on the belief that the role of the jury is not simply to uphold the law but to turn mere law into justice.
Of course that’s exactly why Florida wants to change the law to 8-4 because they don’t want people’s morals to interfere with their pogrom.
Also a good time to remind people that if it looks like a Nazi, sounds like a Nazi, acts like a Nazi, and is supporting policies that Nazis actually had, no matter what they call themselves or what symbols they use, they’re a Nazi.

Men withhold rights to give themselves advantages. That is why equality feels like injustice to the privileged man.
It was a really, really good political news day today in the US (4/4/23)
For anyone who hasn't heard, not only did Trump get arrested, but also:
-We found out that the legal case against him in this prosecution (stormy daniels hush money case) is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than people had speculated. Like, wow do they have receipts.
-In fact, the evidence was so entirely there that the new question on prime time news (well, at least on msnbc lol) is "Hey, why didn't the federal courts prosecute him for this already???)
-Trump FAILED UTTERLY in his attempts to rally mass protests and demands for "death and destruction" if he was arrested. There was no violence at the arrest at all, and as for Trump supporters? They failed to show up in any kind of numbers--reportedly only about a hundred people were protesting the arrest
-We (aka Judge Janet Protasiewicz) WON what is widely considered to be the most consequential election of 2023, a Wisconsin state supreme court election that handed control of the state supreme court to the left
-Because of that election win, it is now extremely likely that abortion will be legal in Wisconsin, and that Wisconsin won't be able to throw out electors in the 2024 presidential election
-ALSO bc of this, Wisconsin, the most gerrymandered state in the country, will probably get nonpartisan, accurate maps, which COULD FLIP THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES in 2024
-In Chicago, Brandon Johnson, union organizer and former teacher, won the election for mayor, in a decisive win progressives, esp for meaningful criminal justice reform and investment in mental health (whereas the other guy was campaigning on hiring hundreds of new cops and being super tough on crime)
Nebraska hasn't passed a single bill this year because one lawmaker keeps filibustering in protest of an anti-trans bill: 'I will burn this session to the ground'
Damn. I thought she was just gonna up and make a fuss and her swearing to protect trans kids was a bunch of empty words (again).
But no. She's one-woman filibustering the entire Nebraska legislature into a complete standstill until they agree to protect the rights of trans kids.
She was 100% serious when she said she'd make it as painful for everyone as it is for trans kids. Gahddamn.
This is why small elections matter. She's not a country wide senator or president or shit. She's just a local official representing District 6 in Nebraska.
This is why the "smaller" elections between the presidential elections matter.

to simplify: churches are forbidden to promote specific political parties or candidates, in order to maintain tax-exempt status. no religious institution is allowed to make explicit political statements, including “this party is bad,” “this party is good,” “you should vote for x,” “you should not vote for x,” or “let’s raise money for x political party or campaign.” all of those things are super illegal! if they’re going to act as a political entity, they need to pay taxes like any other political entity! report their asses!!!!
